Shine
Imagine opening a door and all you see is darkness
Suddenly, you're inside and surrounded by it
Your mind fights to see some light
But you can't focus on anything but the dark
You turn around and glance into the doorway of past happiness
Yet before you, all you can see is despair and anguish
How and why do you move forward?
What is your inspiration to take another step?
Love ones died, failed goals and diminished aspiration
But you feel that you must go on, why?
Why, because you are a one and only
A precious creation like no other
Many can do what you do but no one can do what you do
You are formed to change, influence and inspire a life
Just as these words may do for you
Remember, life is never consistent
Like the weather, it can change at any moment
And just as such, we must prepare for such
There's a coat available that you can put on
Don the coat of love from your family and friends
If you chose to wear, it will shield you from the rain
And the darkness may not be so overwhelming
Darkness and rain is just a state of mind
For at your birth, sunshine was embedded in you
But it's up to you to keep it glowing
Don't let nothing engulf you in that darkness
Your purpose is greater than you think
So shine, as only you can
Shine baby shine, like no other
